Description
A quality cast iron wok is an investment in your kitchen that pays dividends with every meal. This hand-forged wok combines traditional craftsmanship with practical design, giving you a cooking vessel that performs beautifully whether you're stir-frying vegetables, searing proteins, or simmering sauces. The 36cm diameter provides ample cooking surface for family meals, while the dual handles make it manageable even when full of hot food.
Cast iron's natural heat retention means your ingredients cook evenly and develop deeper flavors. Unlike non-stick coatings that degrade over time, this wok actually improves with use as you build up seasoning layers that create a naturally non-stick surface. It's the kind of cookware piece that can last decades, becoming a kitchen heirloom you pass down.
Why This Works For You
The uncoated surface means no synthetic finishes to worry about peeling or breaking down. You control what touches your food, and the seasoning develops from oils you use, creating a personalized non-stick finish. The double-ear design gives you stability and confidence when tossing ingredients or pouring liquids. Works on gas, electric, and induction stovetops, so you're not locked into one cooking setup. The included wooden lid lets you braise, steam, or cover dishes without needing separate equipment.
How to Use It
Start with simple stir-fries to build your seasoning. Heat the wok until a drop of water beads and rolls across the surface, then add oil and your ingredients. The curved sides make it easy to push food up the edges while you cook the next batch. Beyond stir-frying, use it for deep frying, braising tough cuts of meat, making soups, or even baking cornbread. The flat or round bottom options let you choose what works best with your stove type. Many cooks keep their wok on the stove permanently because they reach for it constantly.

Care & Maintenance
Seasoning a cast iron wok is straightforward. Before first use, wash it with hot water and a stiff brush to remove any manufacturing residue. Dry completely with a towel, then apply a thin layer of neutral oil (vegetable, canola, or grapeseed work well) and wipe away excess. Heat it on the stove until it just begins to smoke, then let it cool. Repeat this process a few times to build your initial seasoning.
For daily cleaning, rinse with hot water immediately after cooking while the wok is still warm. Use a brush or scrubber to remove food, then dry thoroughly with a towel. Never let it air dry, as moisture causes rust. For stubborn stuck-on food, add a bit of coarse salt and scrub with a paper towel. Occasionally season it again by applying a thin oil coat and heating briefly. Avoid soap and dishwashers, which strip seasoning. With proper care, your wok becomes better with age.
